In a strategic move aimed at bolstering its expertise in fiber optic networks, SPIE, an independent European leader in multi-technical services, has entered into an agreement to acquire SD Fiber. This transaction will significantly enhance SPIE's capabilities in the FttX domain across Switzerland and southern Germany. SD Fiber, headquartered in Dietikon, Switzerland, specializes in deploying fiber optic networks and offers comprehensive end-to-end solutions including planning, installation, and maintenance. Additionally, the company is active in the installation of smart electric meters, which are crucial for intelligent energy consumption management. The acquisition is expected to strengthen SPIE's presence in the attractive telecom infrastructure market and is aligned with the group's commitment to energy transition and digital transformation. Upon completion, SPIE will own 96% of SD Fiber's capital, while the remaining 4% will be retained by SD Fiber's management, who will continue to lead the company. SPIE's broader goal is to further expand its digital and energy services portfolio while contributing to the decarbonization of the economy.
